Larry Merchant: I think [Mayweather-Ortiz] will outdo Pac-Marquez PPV Numbers."

Again, counting the chicks before the eggs are hatched.


Post this after the fights are done and compare the numbers after. Othrwise, it is still a fantasy match-up of PPV numbers and nobody wins against Gayweather in any kind of fantasy match-up.

*****s talk as if already written in stone.

And if you don't count his nationality as a factor for his PPV numbers, then you are not only dumb, you actually descend to the level of imbeciles. Gayweather is an american olympic bronze medalist, a fixture of boxing even before Pac came to american consciousness, and a known bpxing family. That must count for something, just as Oscar Dela Hoya was always a PPV attraction because of his background.

 

I can see the mayweather ortiz fight doing better. It is already being spoeken about regularly on sky in the uk as a "mouth watering clash." Mayeather is massive in the uk hence and it's fact that his ppv numbers against hatton were better than pac vs hatton. He is a huge draw over here cos I think people judge him as a fighter alone and respect the skill on show. I don't think many over here are interested in what happens in his private life. So ppv wise it is not only America that matters...

 

I also think Floyd-Ortiz will outdo Pac-JMM.

But if Pac retires for a year or so and comes back, he'll make even bigger PPV figures too.

Retirement makes boxing fans' hearts go ponder.
